00:00I want to be a serious actor doing serious plays.

00:13You're an actor.

00:14You're a black man.

00:17They don't do black on Broadway.

00:19So he's the dictator of a small island.

00:21He thinks he can only be killed by a magic, um...

00:24A silver bullet.

00:25Yes.

00:26Has special powers.

00:27He's a Negro?

00:28Oh, no, no, no.

00:29You've been down that road before.

00:31If you don't like my idea, I'll find someone who does.

00:35Who dare whistle that way in my palace?

00:39Who dare wake up the Emperor?

00:42I got me a part in a Broadway show!

00:50Best performance of the year!

00:54Played by a Negro actor named Charles S. Gilpin.

00:58You are probably the most famous black man in New York right now.

01:01You are carrying their hopes of elevating the race.

01:03That black trash don't dare stop him.

01:06You stumbled.

01:07You know I don't like that word.

01:09This is my play inside and out.

01:12Don't use phrases that you don't know the meaning of.

01:14This is you, an actor, rising above the moment.

01:19You don't say another word!

01:22Unless they're my words!

01:24Everything will go back to normal one day.

01:28One day my fame will be over.

01:30No one will remember me.

01:32All that a Negro can do is great things.

01:34It's not my business.

01:37Oh, my play is magnificent.

01:40He's just a good actor.
